It sounds like they're scaling by adding larger instances, replicating, and then failing over. So they'll lose any data that hasn't been synced to the new instance when the failover occurs. I'd bet it's rare, but they're being explicit about it.
The Basic Tier probably only uses one instance, so they just replace it in place.
- trhway 8y agoWhat would be the point of downtime they mention other than doing the sync?
- hinkley 8y agoFrom the docs: Basic Tier: Provides a standalone Redis instance. Use this tier for applications that require a simple Redis cache. If you were only reallocating replicas you'd expect no downtime. But turning on replication isn't seamless.
